00:02 High in the Japanese Alps,
00:09 winters are harsh.
00:13 And when the cold becomes overwhelming,
00:20 the Jigokudani troop of Japanese macaques
00:27 hit the hot pools.
00:29 (water splashing)
00:32 These monkeys are famous for spending the colder months
00:38 relaxing in these thermal pools.
00:41 But there's trouble brewing
00:45 as a lower caste female attempts to slip
00:50 into the warm waters unnoticed.
00:57 She's not welcome here.
00:59 Spa privileges are reserved for the dominant female,
01:09 her female relatives, and their offspring.
01:12 While lower caste macaques can only watch from a distance.
01:25 The alpha female is quick to put the low-ranking intruder
01:29 back in her place.
01:30 Restoring order.
